The Spirits in Poetry - A Spiritual Podcast
Finding Meaning in a Decaying World
This episode deals with one central question: Does our life have meaning?
To answer this question we look at three philosophies which struggle with this answer. The first is Nihilism, which says that life is meaningless. Nihilism has two responses: Existentialism which says that we make our own meaning, and Absurdism which says that the best that we can do is accept this absurdity that life is devoid of purpose.
However I don't believe that the answer to this question is as pessimistic and hopeless as Absurdism believes it to be.
